Leveraging Technology to Elevate Patient Reporting Adherence in Vaccine Clinical Trials: Reaching +98% Adherence Rates

Leveraging Technology to Elevate Patient Reporting

Poor patient reporting adherence can prolong the trial duration by increasing the time required to gather complete and accurate data. This can extend the overall cost of the trial while burdening the study team and site, and compromise future submissions.   Patient reporting adherence facilitates the early identification of symptoms and risk factors, prevents dropouts,… Continue reading Leveraging Technology to Elevate Patient Reporting Adherence in Vaccine Clinical Trials: Reaching +98% Adherence Rates
